About Me

What started as me, a 34 year old mom, massage therapist, waitress, and one woman quest to finish P90X before Tony Horton finishes me off!, has now turned in to one woman's quest to never get bored with her exercise program. I stopped P90X after 75 days when I found I no longer had the enthusiasm I had when I started. No big surprise, I get bored easily and need to be challenged constantly! So I switched to Insanity, and from there will go on to either Chalean Extreme or RevAbs.
Therefore, I should have named this blog
www.beachbodyistryingtokillme.com!!
Join me on my workout quest :)

Day 6

Remember that time, on Day 5, when I said I didn't think I would be too sore?? Why do I ever open my mouth. My ass hurts so bad I can't sit on anything that isn't padded. My leg muscle hurt to the point they feel crampy. I find I have become that girl who is constantly stretching, my shoulders, my quads, my triceps, even in public places. I can imagine people thinking "who does she think she is, some kind of athlete??" If they only knew my pain, they wouldn't judge. I find myself sneaking in stretches while massaging, its that bad!!

Day 6 is supposed to another cardio workout, and then Day 7 is rest. However, due to my work schedule, I have changed this. Saturdays I massage all day, then wait tables at night, in an upstairs dining room. So, the only conceivable way for me to actually survive a Saturday workday is NOT to do a workout right before. So for my P90X schedule, Day 6 will be rest day, and Day 7 will be Yoga X, since its the only day I can fit in a 90 minute continuous workout.However, because I got called in to work last night, I still have that Ab Ripper workout to make up. And since that is only 17 minutes, I easily fit it in in the morning. My Abs hurt so bad, I can't even tell you. It seems to be the exercises where I have to drop my legs close to the floor, but not actually touch it that hurt the most, especially the scissor ones. Its my lower ab (or my "pooch" or "front butt" as I lovingly refer to it) that hurts the most. I do my best.So much for a day of rest!
